Dirty Fighting

Dirty Fighting
STATIC COOLDOWN:	16 / 12 / 8 / 4 (based on level)
SPEED:	2000 / 5000

Innate: Whenever Akshan uses a basic attack, he fires an additional shot after a delay that deals 50% AD physical damage, increased to 100% AD against minions. If this shot is cancelled, he gains 20 − 75 (based on level)  ×  (1 + 100% bonus attack speed)  bonus movement speed decaying over 1 second.

The additional shot applies on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness and can critically strike for「 (122.5% +  28%) physical damage. 」「 70% total  critical damage. 」

Innate: Akshan's basic attacks on-hit and ability hits apply a stack of Dirty Fighting to enemies for 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications and stacking up to 3 times. The third stack against a target consumes them all to deal them 15 / 40 / 80 / 150 (based on level) (+ 60% AP) bonus magic damage; if the target is a champion, Akshan will also gain a 40 − 280 (based on level) (+ 35% bonus AD) shield for 2 seconds. The shield may be gained only once every few seconds.

COOLDOWN:	18 / 14 / 10 / 6 / 2
CAST TIME:	0.5
Detection Radius:	800

Passive: Akshan marks enemy champions that kill allied champions as Scoundrels for 60 seconds. If Akshan scores a takedown against a Scoundrel while alive and within 3 seconds of damaging them, he receives an additional 100 and revives all dead allied champions that they have slain after 1 second.

When Akshan claims a Scoundrel's bounty he removes the marks of all other enemies. Scoundrels refresh their mark duration on subsequent kills, and will have their mark removed when they die by any means. Akshan cannot mark enemies as Scoundrels while they are dead. Allies are revived at their summoning platform.

Active: Akshan enters camouflage, which lasts indefinitely while he is near terrain or inside brush, and for 2 seconds otherwise. During this time. he can see trails leading toward Scoundrels, and while facing them if they are within 5000 units, he gains  bonus mana regeneration equal to 12% of his missing mana as well as  bonus movement speed.

Bonus Movement Speed: 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120

Going Rogue can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically after its duration. Attacking or casting abilities ends Going Rogue immediately.

Recast: Akshan ends Going Rogue.

Heroic Swing

Heroic Swing
COST:	70 Mana
COOLDOWN:	18 / 16.5 / 15 / 13.5 / 12
CAST TIME:	none
SPEED:	2500 / 1200 / 3000

Active: Akshan can activate Heroic Swing three times before the ability goes on cooldown, and can use the third cast only after 0.5 seconds of the second cast. Akshan may input an attack or movement command to use the second and third casts.

First Cast: Akshan fires a hook in the target direction that embeds in the first terrain hit, and enters preparation for up to 2.125 seconds. Heroic Swing's second cast can be used while the hook is attached. If the hook fails to attach or Akshan is moved or becomes immobilized, grounded, or polymorphed within the duration, the preparation will end prematurely, cancelling Heroic Swing in the process.

Second Cast: Akshan swings around the terrain in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction based on the position of the cursor relative to his facing direction, stopping upon colliding with an enemy champion or terrain. While swinging, he fires at the nearest visible enemy every 0.231 seconds to deal them physical damage and apply on-hit effects at 25% effectiveness per shot.

Akshan will be knocked down by any immobilizing or polymorphing crowd control during the dash.

Physical Damage per Shot: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+ 15% AD)  ×  (1 + 0.3 per 100% bonus attack speed)

Third Cast: Akshan ends the swing by jumping to the target location, though not through terrain, and fires one last shot at a nearby visible enemy.

Scoring an enemy champion takedown reduces Heroic Swing's  current cooldown to 0.5 seconds. The shots can critically strike for「 (157.5% +  36%) physical damage 」「 90% total  critical damage 」and apply  life steal at 100% effectiveness.

Avengerang and Going Rogue can be cast during the third cast's dash. Comeuppance can be cast at all points during Heroic Swing, though Akshan cannot fire during the swing while it is active. Akshan prioritizes firing at enemy champions with stacks of Dirty Fighting, then those damaged by his targeted spells in the last 4 seconds, then the nearest enemy. Heroic Swing can be cast during Akshan's other abilities.

• The second cast's dash will displace Akshan around the terrain in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, with the specific direction being determined by the position of the player's cursor relative to his facing direction.
  • The dash will move clockwise if the player's cursor is anywhere to the left of Akshan from his facing direction (or perspective), and counterclockwise if the cursor is anywhere to his right.
• Akshan will not stop swinging until his dash is stopped.
  • The swing will end prematurely if the terrain the hook was attached to no longer exists, such as player-generated terrain.
• Akshan will prioritize firing at enemies he damaged with any unit-targeted ability or spell within the last 4 seconds, such as Comeuppance or Ignite.
• Heroic Swing grants a buff to Akshan for 2 seconds that indicates and determines the first cast's duration.
  • This buff starts as soon as the ability is cast, and lingers for 0.125 seconds after it expires.
    • This means the hook can be attached to terrain for longer if it hits it earlier in the duration, and vice versa.
  • If Akshan dashes (excluding second cast's dash) or blinks or becomes affected by immobilization, ground, or polymorph in the duration, the buff is removed immediately, causing the first cast to be lost and cancelling Heroic Swing entirely.
• Akshan immediately fires one shot at the beginning of his swing and a final shot while dismounting from the swing.
• Akshan can fire at any targetable enemy unit excluding structures and jungle plants.
• Only Heroic Swing's first cast is disabled while grounded or rooted. The third cast is still usable during those effects.
• Heroic Swing's second and third cast can both be used while silenced.
• Takedowns against clones do not count for resetting Heroic Swing's cooldown.
• If a takedown is scored while Heroic Swing is active, the cooldown afterwards will be 0.5 seconds.
• Akshan will attempt to basic attack the target he fired at with the last shot after the third cast's dash ends, if there is no other input given.
• Each shot generates a stack of Conqueror.
• Spell shield will only block a single shot.
• The attack speed scaling on the damage of the attacks includes the bonus attack speed gained from Akshan's innate attack speed growth.
  • At level 18, each shot at minimum deals 108.36 (+ 18.06% AD) physical damage.
• Despite this ability not applying on-attack effects, it does apply Navori Flickerblade's Transcendence.^(bug)
• Under certain circumstances, upon attaching the hook to terrain, Akshan will create a particle on the location permanently.^(bug)
  • This particle can be attacked by minions.
• PENDING FOR TEST: Hook range including lollipop against walls, automated attacks range while swinging, final dash distance and speed.
• The following table refers for interactions while the hook is attached or in flight:

• Comeuppance refreshes the duration of Dirty Fighting stacks on the target every 0.25 seconds.
• A kill threshold will appear on the health bar of the target locked onto during the channel, which increases each time Akshan stores a bullet. If the target's current health falls below the threshold, their health bar will be framed in red.
  • The indicator factors the bonus damage applied by Dirty Fighting as well as damage modifiers and the target's resistances.
  • It also factors the projected increase in the target's missing health, from which each consecutive bullet scales more.
  • It updates dynamically over the channel's duration, reacting to fluctuations of the target's health and damage mitigations.
• The reveal will linger for 2 seconds after the channel has ended.
• Spell shield will not prevent the lock-on and will only block a single bullet.
• Comeuppance will not go on a reduced cooldown if Akshan dies during the channel.
• Comeuppance will cancel if the target becomes untargetable or dies during the channel.
• Damage to structures does scale with their missing health.

Raising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra's many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: “Don't be an ass.”

The Neon Rogue of Sound City has become the hero of the underground, largely due to his bravery, his wit, and his uncanny ability to sneak into highly-secure corporate buildings without being detected. Being charming as hell doesn't hurt, either.

As roguish as he is handsome, Akshan abandons his daring adventures each year to make a highly-requested appearance at the festival. He might be seen stealing a dance or two, but he only has eyes for one among the crowd. Their moral… discrepancies are no match for the electrifying chemistry between them.

When the Order of Solace found Akshan, he was a soulless weapon of death caught in a cycle of revenge following his mentor's murder. Even with his despair, the Order's teachings were able to fill the endless hole within Akshan and rejuvenate him. Now he stands with Malzahar as a Three Honors stalwart, ready to fight the Essents with harmony and quips.

V11.15 - Added

• Dirty Fighting (Innate)
  • Innate: Whenever Akshan uses a basic attack, he fires an additional shot, which deals 50% AD physical damage, increased to 100% AD against minions. If Akshan cancels the second shot, he gains 35 − 75 (based on level) (+ 100% bonus attack speed) bonus movement speed decaying over 1 second.

  • Akshan's basic attacks and abilities apply a stack to affected enemies for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times and refreshing on subsequent applications. The third stack consumes them all to deal 20 − 175 (based on level) bonus magic damage and, if the target is a champion, Akshan is granted a 40 − 300 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) shield for 2 seconds. The shield may only be gained once every few seconds.

If the boomerang hits an enemy champion, Akshan gains 40% bonus movement speed decaying over 1 second.

• Going Rogue (W)
  • Passive: Enemy champions that kill allied champions are marked as a Scoundrel for 60 seconds.

  • Active: Akshan enters camouflage, which lasts for 2 seconds or indefinitely while he is near terrain or inside brush. Going Rogue can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically at the end of its duration.
